WOW!!! Heres how to take your kids (and yourself) to the next level for skills development. No more poorly constructed videos or diagrams - these are very professionally produced so that you understand every move. Theres also good dialogue with the pros and trainers about how to really finesse these moves on the pitch.

We purchased this DVD based on a recommendation, for use as a training aid for my 10 yr old. It demonstrates a number of age appropriate soccer skills in a nice format that is useful for learning, and that is also enjoyable to watch. At times the European accents and terminology used by some of the speakers / players may be difficult to understand and follow.

The production of this DVD absolutely sparkles. I have a 6 and a 10 year old, and they have watched this video, and learned many of the moves. They are pretty good! They film the steps that you take for the moves from beneath the player, through a plexiglass floor! They also show pro players using these moves in a game. Its also a bonus that one of the most prolific goal scorers in the English Premier League, Ruud Von Nistlerooy, is showing several of the moves along with some very talented 10 year old soccer players. Its also surprizing how many Manchester United players shown in this DVD have also scored goals for their respective countries in the FIFA World Cup. In short, why not learn some terrific moves going from basic to advanced from some of the best players in the world? There is not a better instructional DVD.

If you are looking for soccer skills to teach or learn, avoid this (like the plague) and try "All The Right Moves - To Beat and Get Past Your Opponent" (theres a Hollywood movie called "All The Right Moves" which is (obviously) different). That DVD covers a lot of juking moves from various angles. Fortunately I got this Man U DVD out of the library so I could return it. I presume someone as disgusted with it as I gave it to them.
If, on the other hand, you are a dedicated Man U fan this is for you. Of the 2 hours, about 5 minutes are devoted to teaching any skills at all. The rest of it is Man U players and staff talking, or just standing there for you to admire.
The 4 skills taught are "step over" "Cruyff" "Maradonna" (they call it something else) and "pull-back" Those are taught well in a little section of extras where they show it in several ways.
No kicking skills taught though you get to watch a Man U player kick a ball around some metal defenders. No insight into how he does it - what a waste.

Honestly, I m a football mania. One day i go loitering in a small mall, where not many ppl visit n almost close down. I go into a cd shop n found this disc displayed along with others manutd cds. So i m amazed with such a disc is produced. i think how can skills been put into a disc? N the back cover of the disc say this can help u to play like a champion so this bcom a must buy to me(to fulfill my curiosity).
Once i turned it on, i m suprised with the contents of the disc. U r a lucky 1 if u get this b4 it goes out of stock.
There r many skills in it. Useful, simple to learn, n thus not amatuer skill but is world class skills by world class players.
One of the most exciting skill is INSIDE n OUTSIDE. U probaly hav seen this skills for millions times, but without this disc u may not even notice this. This skillis the best among other no matter if u r cristiano ronaldo with qucik feint, u mayb still can win against him in 1 on 1 situation. if u do hav the talent.INSIDE n OUTSIDE is a skill which my favourite player use n mayb urs too, RYAN GIGGS. i cannot xplain it over here how it works so get ur own copy now. Final word, WORTHFULL. n cheap oso.
by the way , to b a top class soccer player there r many things to focused on such as ur diet,......n even ur mood(i recommend music as a way to capture ur good mood-listen to CELINE DIONs music), most importantly ur talent. So work out now with hard work n this copy which certainly will boost ur improvement, i gurantee.

I basically bought this DVD because Im a ManUtd fan. Yet, it was very interesting to learn some cool skills from the ManUtd players themselves. Good DVD for kids or amateurs who wanna learn how to beat others in one-on-one situations.

Excellent DVD to teach multiple skills and techniques. This could be one of the best instructional DVDs on the market for youth soccer players. There is a lot of Manchester United propaganda in the production but I found it quite interesting and would recommend this to anyone with kids who play soccer.

great instruction and cool features where you can loop the diagrams. If you love manchester united even better.
my only negatives keeping from five stars.--wish the goaltending section was better

Obviously, this video is geared toward fans of the Red Devils. However, the audience is definitely the young football/soccer player. There are numerous skill topics covered by demonstration and animated demonstration. Real Man. Utd. players work with the kids at the Youth Academy. I recommend this video to any Man. Utd. fan and definitely anyone looking for a fun instructional video for their player(s).
